I was thinking about sneaky ways to fuck up someone who managed to steal my bike. For example, find a way of disabling the brakes, so in the event that they did, god forbid, steal my bike, they would sprint away (as a bike stealer would right ?!) and would try to brake at speed, to find themselves rushing headlong into a meat grinder, formaly known as an arctic truck or something bigger. Perhaps using a small paddlock or something on the brakes.
Nother is to stick a spoke in the chain near the chainwheel so that when they decide to hammer the peddals down for that ultimate getaway, they instead do a painful groin plant.
this is assuming the bike has a freewheel. I hate bike thieves. i just cant bear the thought of my bike getting nicked so i use 1 mini u lock and one abus granite x u lock and double lock my bike always. but if they did the satisfaction that they probably stacked it or groin planted would make me feel a whole lot better than just knowing they just sold it to make a quick buck.
